QEJS (DML) moves to ammend the bylaws to suspend the collection of dues. MPWB
DML (ACL) moves that article 5 be ammended to state that a Government shall have at least two officers, one of which shall be a Governor-President and one of which shall be a Governor-Treasurer. Also ammend article 5 that no officer shall have, in whole or in part, as many as two-thirds of the numbered duties below. MP 5-0-0
3) Governor Reports
DML reports our successful open hours. The system worked very well, possibly flawlessly. The trackwork also worked well. Hardly any noticeable track issues, except for the decoupler in Bermanville. The rails were inexplicably slipperier than usual such that the pulling power of the locomotives was less than expected. Several amusing decouplings, including an A unit detaching from a B unit and outpacing the train, still being pulled by the B unit.
DML would like to congratulate the maintenance people who cleaned the floor. They did an amazing job.
QEJS (ACM) moves to smile on the maintenance people. MPWB
4) EAMOTFSMITC
